SRI GOPALA DESIKA MAHADESIKAYA NAMA:

 

Dear Bhagavottamas:

 

Regarding calling Appa. Call him by any name there is nothing sweeter

than Appa. Of course he comes after Amma. Amma can not be equalled.

 

In my family my Periappa was the head of the family and everybody

including his children called him Anna. My Periamma was called Manni by

everyone.

 

My paternal grandmother was called Ammamma by all her grandchildren

(includes me and my brothers and sisters, cousins)and great

grandchildren. Even for her acquaintances and extended family people,

she was Ammamma.

 

The word "Anna" brought back memories of a great scholar and person who

was the headmaster of Sri Ramakrishna Mission High School,

Thyagarayanagar, Madras. After retirement he was at Sri Ramakrishna

Mutt, Myalapore, Madras. He has written a number of books. I have one

gem - which is Srimad Valmiki Ramayana Saram published by Sri

Ramakrishna Mutt, Mylapore. This book has about 6000 verses selected by

him from The Ramayana. He has given beautiful explanations for the

verses.

 

I do not know why he was called "Anna". I think his name was Sri

Subramania Iyer.
